COMMON WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS


Introduction As a student in Electrical Installation and Maintenance you should acquire the important knowledge and skills in wire splices and joints and should be familiar with the actual application of every splice and joint. This will serve as your tool in performing actual wiring installation. Of course, another factor is the knowledge in interpreting and analyzing the wiring diagram especially if the circuit is complicated. The following are the Common Electrical Wire Splices and Joints.

Rat Tail or Pig Tail. This kind of joint is commonly used to join two or more conductors inside the junction box. It is suitable for service where there is no mechanical stress when wires are to be connected in an outlet box, switch, or conduit fitting

Y-splice. This method of wrapping is generally used on small cables because the strands are flexible and all can be wrapped in one operation.

Knotted tap. This is used where the tap Plain tap joint. This is used where the tap wire is under considerable tensile wire is under heavy tensile stress. stress circuit.

Aerial tap. This is used as a temporary tap ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

Duplex cross joint. This is a two-tap wire turned simultaneously and is used 18

usually done in constructions sites. The where the two tap wire is under heavy easy twist will facilitate tap wire movement tensile stress.

Western Union Short-tie Splice. This is the most widely used splice or joint in interior wiring installation to extend the Western Union Long Tie. This is used extensively for outside wiring to extend length of wire from one point to another. the length of wire from one end to another.

Wrapped Tap or Tee Joint. This is Cross joint. The same application is done used on large solid conductors where it as in plain tap and the only difference is is difficult to wrap the heavy tap wire that this tap is a combination of two plain around the main wire. taps place side by side with each other.

EXTENSION CORD
An extension cord is a span of flexible electrical power cable with a plug on one end and multiple sockets on the other end. It comes in several varieties to suit the needs of the user. One of the most important considerations is the power handling capacity to make it safe and functional. Electrical gadgets are product of modern technology to make our life better. The number of electrical gadgets available at home and in offices may exceed the existing convenience outlet installed in every room. The best remedy to address the insufficiency of available outlet is to use an extension cord especially if the electrical gadgets need to operate at the same time. REMINDER Be careful in buying an extension cord. You have to look for the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) markings. The Product Standard (PS) or Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) markings on it signify that the product passed the DTI standard for safety and quality.

RECEIVING AND INSPECTING FREIGHT SHIPMENTS


One of the tasks of a supply officer or logistics officer is the purchase of the companys supplies, materials and anything that the company needs. But his duty does not end in just purchasing but also in receiving the deliveries of what he purchased. In receiving the deliveries, understand that you need to ensure that the right materials and supplies were delivered and all in good condition without defects. A. When you receive a shipment, ask the shipper the following questions: 1. Is it for me? Check the delivery receipt for the consignee's name and address. If your agency has more than one location, make sure the goods are for this exact address. Check the freight to see if it is the same as described on the delivery receipt. Look at the label on each item to make sure the shipment belongs to you.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

42

2. Is it damaged? Do not sign the receipt before inspecting for damage. Check for holes, water, stains, and tears. Pick up cartons if you can. Check for rattling. Listen for something broken inside. Check to see if any package has been opened or if the sealing tape has been tampered with. 3. Is the piece count correct? Count the pieces and match the number on the delivery receipt to the number you have counted. If the shipment is on a pallet, check to make sure the pallet is solid with no voids inside the stack. If the shipment is shrink or stretch wrapped, make sure the wrap hasn't been cut and pieces removed. Sign only for the type of unit you receive. For example: two pallets. Don't sign for the number of packages that are supposed to be on the pallet. However, if time permits or the pallet is not banded or shrink wrapped, count the packages, and only then sign for the number of packages. B. If your delivery doesn't check out, do one of the following: 1. Refuse shipment if it isn't yours, if the shipment does not meet the terms specified by your agency, or is damaged to the point where it no longer has a value. 2. If yours, and only partially damaged or short, accept it and note exceptions on the delivery receipt. C. How to note exceptions: 1. Damage Notations: Be specific. Describe the damage accurately. Pinpoint the locations of all defects. If you can see the damage, have the driver wait while you open and inspect the packages. Write down the number and identity of the damaged pieces. This is called a "joint inventory." 2. Shortage Notations: If part of shipment is missing, write the number of pieces actually delivered on the delivery receipt and circle it. Then write down the number of pieces missing and note them as "short." 3. Signatures: Write down all exceptions on both copies of the delivery receipt. Have the driver sign both copies of the delivery receipt in his full name (not initials or nicknames). After the driver signs, you sign also. Write your agency's name, your full name, the date, and the time of day. D. Follow these steps when requesting an inspection: 1. The receiving person is responsible for requesting the carrier to inspect the damaged goods and packaging. The formal request should be made by phone right after discovering any loss or damage. 2. After the phone request, make a request for inspection by the carrier in writing. Note the date and time of your previous phone call and the person contacted. Keep a copy of your request letter on file.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

43

3. Once contacted about damage or shortage, the carrier may waive inspection and tell you so. If so, write down the name of the person who waived the inspection, and the date and time of waiver. Then conduct your own detailed inspection. Write up your findings in a report and attach it to the file. If you can, take photographs to confirm your inspection report.

MEASURING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS


Measurement is the process or the result of determining the ratio of a physical quantity, such as a length, time, temperature, etc., to a unit of measurement, such as the meter, second or degree Celsius. The science of measurement is called metrology. The English word measurement originates from the Latin mnsra and the verbmetiri through the Middle French mesure.

Electrical measuring tools and instruments are sensitive and delicate so extra care is necessary in handling them. These are used to measure currents, voltages, resistances, wattages and other important elements in electrical works. This topic, will tackle the function/use of each measuring tool and instrument used in doing a electrical task. Different kinds of measuring tools and precision measuring instruments are as follows: Measuring tool/instrument Description

Test Light is a pocket size tool used to test the line wire or circuit if there is current in it.

Micrometer is used to measure the diameter of wires/conductors in circular mils. It can measure small and big sizes of wires and cables.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

51

Wire Gauge is used in determining the size of wires/conductors. The gauge ranges from 0 to 60 awg ( American wire gauge).

Ruler/foot rule is a measuring tool used to measure length, width and thickness of short flat object and in sketching straight lines

*A ruler/rule is a tool used in, for example, geometry, technical drawing, engineering, and carpentry, to measure lengths or distances or to draw straight lines. Strictly speaking, the ruler is the instrument used to rule straight lines and the calibrated instrument used for determining length called a measure. However, common usage calls both instruments rulers and the special name straight edge is used for an unmarked rule.

Pull-Push Rule is a measuring tool used to measure the length of an object in centimeter and inches .

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

52

Ammeter is an instrument used to measure the amount of electrical current intensity in a circuit. The unit of measure is ampere (a). It is connected along or series to the circuit.

Voltmeter is an instrument used to measure electrical pressure or voltage of a circuit. The unit of measure is volt (v). This is connected across or parallel to the circuit.

Clamp Ammeter is also called tong-tester. It is used to measure current flowing in a conductor. It is clamped or hanged in a conductor.

Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM) otherwise called as Multi-tester; is used to measure the voltage, resistance and current of a circuit. It is connected in parallel or series with the circuit depending on what to measure.

THE MULTITESTER INTRODUCTION The Multitester or multimeter is sometimes called the VOM (voltmeter, ohmmeter, milliammeter). It is the best instrument that can measure voltage, resistance and current. It is generally made of two types: the analog and the digital.

A. PARTS OF A MULTI TESTER

POINTER. The needle-shaped rod that moves over the scale of a meter. Pointer It is mechanically connected to the moving coil. it indicates the measured values on the multimeter scale.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

62

RANGE SELECTOR KNOB (Selector switch) makes it possible to select different functions and range of the meter.

Adjustment screw makes it possible to adjust the pointer to the zero position of the scale.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

63

SCALE is a series of marking used for reading the value of a quantity setting.

SCALE -can have different types of scale, for voltage and current readings the scales have mostly linear which means equal division. For resistance readings, the scale have logarithmic which means unequal divisions. Test probe positive (red), negative (black) is used to connect the circuit to the electrical components being tested

Zero-ohm adjustingKnob is used to zero-in the pointer before measuring resistance.

A. Proper care and maintenance of the multi tester 1. Read manual of instructions on how to operate the multi-tester. 2. In reading the amount of voltage, always start with the highest range to avoid reading voltage higher than the tester setting. 3. Be sure that the tester is set to the correct range setting: resistance range when measuring the ohm, voltage range when measuring voltage and ammeter range when measuring the value of electric current. 4. Always check the condition of its battery. Worn out batteries will damage the internal setting of the tester. 5. When the tester is not in used or will be stored, set the selector switch to 1000V or to OFF position. 6. Never drop the tester.

A. Basic Maintenance of Electrical Tools and Equipment


To ensure that your electric tools work when you need them, you must take proper care of them. A good routine of maintenance for your tools is one thing that you can do to make sure that the tool you need is working when you need it. 1. Clean out the Dust. To make sure that your electric tools are ready to go when you are, keep them clean and free of dust. Spend some time to clean out the dust every once in a while on your tools while they are inactive in storage.

2. Check the Cords. Look for tear/cut insulator on the power cords on your electric tools. This will ensure that your electric tool can get the power that it needs to function without an accident.

3. Use the right tool correctly. Use tools correctly and for their intended purposes. Follow the safety directions and operating procedures recommended by the manufacturer. When working on a circuit, use approved tools with insulated handles.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

103

4. Protect your Tools. Keep tools and cords away from heat, oil, and sharp objects. These hazards can damage insulation. If a tool or cord heats up, stop using it. Report the condition to a supervisor or instructor immediately.

5. Use double-insulated tools - Portable electrical tools are classified by the number of insulation barriers between the electrical conductors in the tool and the worker.

6. Storing Your Tools- Keep your electric tools stored in their original cases and containers. This will keep them free of dust and dirt while they are not being used.

Note: proper care of your electric tools is the key to making sure that they last for many years

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

104

B. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Information Sheet 3.1 Why Maintain Inventory of Tools and Equipment The most significant point to think at the start of your career is to acquire branded tools. They must be made out of high-quality steel and manufactured for precision. Special consideration is given to balance so that the tool/equipment will be properly maintained and prevent loses. Since the technician must work with his tools daily, regular inventory of tools/equipment is very significant. The initial cost of a minimum number of tools is high but there is accompanying warranty guarantees satisfaction and many years of service. It is better, in the long run, to start with a few cautiously selected tools that will take care of your most common needs and then slowly build-up to a complete set. It is sometimes hard to identify and memorize the huge number of tools and equipment in the workshop, maintaining the inventory record is of great value.

Maintaining and Storing Tools & Equipment An important aspect of any business is the maintenance and storage of tools and equipment. The investment in tools and equipment is a significant part of the overhead expenses in any operation. Proper selection and maintenance of equipment are important factors in managing business. Selecting the proper tool for the job and using the tool properly will increase efficiency and reduce maintenance problems. Purchase tools, which are well-made and suited to the intended use. Commercial usage may entail more heavy duty demands on equipment. Hand tools: 1. Clean dirt and debris from tools after each use. 2. Oil metal parts to prevent rust. 3. Lightly sand rough wooden handles and apply linseed oil. 4. Repair loose handles. 5. Sharpen blades of cutting tools. 6. Store tools in a clean dry storage area. 7. Protect surfaces of cutting tools in storage. Power tools: 1. Read and follow the maintenance schedule in the owners manual for each piece of power equipment. 2. Change the oil. 3. Clean the air filter. 4. Lubricate moving parts. 5. Sharpen dull blades or replace worn blades according to the owners manual. 6. Replace spark plugs. 7. Drain oil and gasoline before long-term storage. 8. Check electric cords and connections on electric-powered tools. 9. Store tools in a clean dry storage area. Equipment: 1. Store equipment in a clean dry storage area. 2. Rinse and clean spray equipment after each use. 3. Clean spreaders and check wheel-driven gears.

HAZARDS AND RISKS


What is the difference between 'hazard' and 'risk'? A hazard is something that can cause harm, eg electricity, chemicals, working up a ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress. Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse health effect once to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment loss. A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm.

For example, working alone away from your office can be a hazard. The risk of personal danger may be high. Electrical repair is a hazard. If someone accidentally turnedon the power the workers life will be in a 'high-risk' category.

Five Basic Workplace Hazards


There are ve major types of hazards which can put both your health and your safety at risk. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Chemical hazards Physical hazards Biological hazards Ergonomic hazards or job related hazards Psychological hazards or stress CHEMICAL HAZARDS

If you are working with cleaning products, bleaches, paints, and other chemical agents, you need to understand what a chemical hazard is as well as how to protect yourself. Chemical hazards include: liquids such a cleansers, acids, and paints vapours and fumes such as welding fumes gases such as carbon monoxide products that can catch re or explode

PHYSICAL HAZARDS

Physical hazards include: Machinery Electrical power Noise Power and hand tools Working and walking surfaces Trip and fall hazards Ladders and scaffolds Heat and cold ventilation

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Why be careful around ticks, mouse droppings, bird poop and wild animals? Because you might get sick from working around certain animals, including

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

133

people. Biological hazards include bacteria, viruses, insects, plants, birds, animals, and humans. The risks run from skin irritation and allergies to infections. Dangers can come from: unclean restrooms mold and fungus bacteria insect stings animal bites poorly stored medical waste

ERGONOMIC HAZARDS If your job is poorly designed, you can develop long term health problems. These problems can arise from simple things, like working for long periods in an awkward position or having to make the same motions over and over again.

Problems can come from: lghting chairs lifting repeated movements computer screens

PSYCHOLOGICAL HAZARDS Those that are basically causing stress to a worker. This kind of hazard troubles an individual very much to an extent that his general well-being is affected Stress can lead to long-term health problems. Headaches, anxiety, and impatience are early signs of stress. Workplace causes of stress include: heavy workloads lack of control over the pace of work shift work noise working by yourself fear of job-loss conict with the employer

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE


One of the most critical among the hazards that one may encounter is the chemical hazard. Chemical may produce reactions that may endanger ones health and life. This is the reason why the American Conference of Governmental Hygienist (ACGIH) established a threshold limit value (tlv). TLV is the term used by the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH*) to express the airborne concentration of a material to which nearly all persons can be exposed day after day, without adverse health effects

What Do You Need To Know?


Read the Information Sheet 2.1 very well then find out how much you can remember and how much you learned by doing Self-check 2.1.

Information Sheet 2.1

What is a risk assessment?


Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. The goal of all occupational safety and health programs is to foster a safe work environment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment. It may involve interactions among many subject areas, including occupational medicine, occupational (or industrial) hygiene, public health, safety engineering / industrial engineering, chemistry, health physics. Risks include acute and chronic health effects, for example, irritation or cancer, and physical effects such as fires or explosions. The hazards are physical and health hazards. II. Risk assessment A. Risk assessment is the process where you: 1. identify hazards 2. analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard 3. determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard B. Factors that influence the degree of risk include: how much a person is exposed to a hazardous thing or condition how the person is exposed (e.g., breathing in a vapor, skin contact), and how severe are the effects under the conditions of exposure

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

140

ACGIH has established TLV's for approximately 850 chemical. TLVs may appear as: TLV-TWA or time-weighted average, which is an average eight-hour exposure limit; TLV-STEL or short-term exposure limit, which is a fifteen-minute exposure limit, or TLV-C or ceiling, which is a limit which should never be exceeded without protection.

II. Fire and Explosion Hazard Assessment Fire is one type of hazard that needs careful evaluation before extinguishing it. Not all fire could be extinguished by water that is why it is necessary that we knew first the cause of fire before dealing the fire. 1. Flash Point and Method Used: Lowest temperature at which a liquid will give off enough flammable vapors to ignite. Since flash points vary according to how they are obtained, the method used must be listed. Chemicals with lower flash points present a greater flammability hazard. 2. Flammable Limits: Range of concentrations over which a flammable vapor mixed with air will flash or explode if an ignition source is present. Range extends between lower explosive limit (LEL) and upper explosive limit (UEL) and is expressed in percentage of volume of vapor or gas in air (0 100%). Chemicals with a broad flammable range (i.e., range between the LEL and the UEL) and/or a flammable range in the lower percentages, present a greater flammability hazard. 3. Extinguishing Media: Fire-fighting material for use on substance that is burning, Firefighting material should be indicated by its generic name (e.g. water, foam, dry chemical, etc.). III. Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics. Waste management is a distinct practice from resource recovery which focuses on delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources. The management of wastes treats all materials as a single class, whether solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, and tried to reduce the harmful environmental impacts of each through different methods. Waste management practices differ for developed and developing nations, for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Management for nonhazardous waste residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.

What Do You Need To Know?


Read the Information Sheet 3.1 very well then find out how much you can remember and how much you learned by doing Self-check 3.1.

Information Sheet 3.1 3A. HAZARD CONTROL All workplace hazards (chemical, physical, etc.) can be controlled by a variety of methods. The goal of controlling hazards is to prevent workers from being exposed to occupational hazards. Some methods of hazard control are more efficient than others, but a combination of methods usually provides a safer workplace than relying on only one method. Some methods of control are cheaper than others but may not provide the most effective way to reduce exposures. To control hazards in your workplace you need to identify and understand those hazards. Your first priority should always be to eliminate the hazards. If the hazards can't be eliminated, try finding safer ways to carry out those tasks by substituting less harmful substances or changing the work environment through engineering controls. Also consider changing how work activities are organized and performed. For example, reduce the time workers are exposed to a hazard by rotating them to another task. A. Controlling workplace hazards Once a hazard has been identified and the risk assessed, control measures should be put into place.A simple list of control measures can be utilized - the hierarchy of control.

1. Identify the Hazard Identify the source of the problem

2. Assess the Risk Risk assessment is the process where you: o o Identify hazards, Analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

150

Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard

3. Eliminate the Hazard Or Risk Elimination of a specific hazard or hazardous work process, or preventing it from entering the workplace, is the most effective method of control. Eliminating a hazard means removing it completely.

4. Engineering Control may mean changing a piece of machinery (for example, using proper machine guards) or a work process to reduce exposure to a hazard.

5. Administrative Controls Working a limited number of hours in a hazardous area is an example of an administrative control for example, job rotation.

6. Substitution is one measure of replacing one hazardous


agent or work process with a less dangerous one. It is important to consider worker health and safety when work processes are still in the planning stages.

Provide Personal Protective Equipment Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes ear and eye protection, respirators, and protective clothing.

Remember: it is always better to control the hazard as close to the source as possible. Using personal protection is the least acceptable and least effective of all control measures.

What Do You Need To Know?


Read the Information Sheet 1.1 very well then find out how much you can remember and how much you learned by doing Self-check 1.1.

Information Sheet 3.2 YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK Personal hygiene Finally, personal hygiene (cleanliness) is also very important as a method of controlling hazards. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a shower every day at the end of your shift, no matter what your job is. Wash your skin and hair with a mild soap, rinse and dry your skin completely to protect it. Washing hands regularly, and eating and smoking away from your work area help to prevent ingesting Do not take workplace contaminants. hazards home with you! Lack of personal cleanliness can affect your family's health. Your family can be exposed to hazards you work with if you bring chemicals and other workplace contaminants home with you on your clothes, hair or skin. Before you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when necessary to prevent bringing workplace contaminants home. Leave your dirty clothes at work or, if you must wash them at home, wash them separately not with the family wash.

153

It may seem that the amount of contaminant you can bring home on your clothes or skin is very small and cannot hurt your family. In reality a small exposure every day for months can add up to a big exposure. A classic example of this spreading the hazard involves asbestos, where wives of asbestos workers have developed asbestosis from exposure to the asbestos on their husbands' work clothes. Similarly, children have developed lead poisoning from exposure to lead which comes home on their parents' work clothes. If you wear protective clothing at work, such as aprons, laboratory coats, overalls, etc., these should be cleaned regularly and you should inspect them for holes or areas that are worn out. Workers who launder these clothes should be trained in the types of hazards they may work with and how they can be controlled. Inspect your underclothes at home for any signs of contamination with oils, solvents, etc. If you find any signs, then it means your protective clothing at work is not effective. Every workplace should have some kind of first-aid facility Every workplace should have at least minimal first-aid facilities as well as adequate personnel trained to provide first aid. First-aid facilities and trained personnel are important components of a healthy and safe workplace.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education

154

A basic first-aid facility

1. General cleanliness in the workplace is an important method of controlling hazards. 2. Good housekeeping reduces the risk of fire and is cost-effective. 3. Good housekeeping measures should be planned when work processes are in the design stage. 4. Safety signs are not a method of hazard control. 5. Personal cleanliness is an important method of controlling hazards. 6. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a shower every day. 7. Before you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when necessary to prevent bringing workplace contaminants home to your family. 8. Leave your dirty clothes at work. If you must wash them at home, wash them separately never wash your work clothes with your family's wash. 9. Your protective clothing should be cleaned regularly. Inspect your protective clothing for holes and worn areas that could leave you open to exposures. 10. Inspect your undergarments for signs of contamination. 11. Your workplace should have at least minimal first-aid facilities.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Process of ensuring that an organization has complied with the preventive measures, is in a state of readiness to contain the effects of a forecasted disastrous event to minimize loss of life, injury, and damage to property, can provide rescue, relief, rehabilitation, and ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE K to 12 Technology and Livelihood Education 155

other services in the aftermath of the disaster, and has the capability and resources to continue to sustain its essential functions without being overwhelmed by the demand placed on them. Preparedness for the first and immediate response is called emergency preparedness.

Always remember that disaster comes in the most unexpected time and place. Being ready is always a necessity in all circumstances. The government is giving trainings that everybody needs in all our localities. One should participate in this disaster training so that we will not be caught unaware when calamity struck.
